Vehicle Description
How do you get ahead of the Mercury Lead Sled guys? How about
reaching back even further with a fully custom hot rod built from
Mercury's iconic designs. This 1940 Mercury eight-window coupe has
all those unmistakable custom touches that everyone loves, and it's
a unique standout wherever it goes. Best of all, you'll love the
long list of features: from the A/C interior to the enhanced V8
power.
This is related to one of the most iconic Ford street machines,
just in a rarer form. So, it does a great job of showing off its
history while also giving the coupe some modern flair. That starts
with the burgundy paint. It has a rich look and a deep gloss to
attract plenty of attention, and as people get closer, real
enthusiasts will marvel at the classic single-stage application.
The special Mercury grille, teardrop headlight bezels, full-length
trim, and smooth chrome bumpers make for a great classic package.
Of course, there are plenty of the right custom touches, too. The
smooth rear end, frenched taillights, and power license plate
holder give this a sporty look. And the while those color-matched
steelie wheels have a great classic look with the two-piece trim,
it's also worth taking a closer look. It has a staggered stance and
wide rear tires to really give this one a hint of intimidation.
Step inside, and even more custom touches await. The plush bucket
seats are the first indication that there was plenty of money
invested in this build. And there are nice details, like the center
armrest and added back seat. The driver gets a highly-stylized wood
and chrome Lecarra sports steering wheel on a tilt column. Beyond
that is a digital dashboard with a glowing red that looks nice
against the coordinating burgundy. In fact, this Mercury has plenty
of electronic upgrades no one could even dream of in 1940. This
includes power windows, an AM/FM/CD stereo, overhead console
lights, and cold-blowing air conditioning.
The copper-like top of the radiator might give this a vintage-style
look, but beyond that, this one proudly shows off more modern
power. It has a 350 cubic-inch crate motor, and it looks show-ready
with all its polished components. Plus, this V8 has been enhanced
with a twin side draft air intake, Demon four-barrel carburetor, an
Edelbrock intake, electric fan, and headers that add power while
feeding a glasspack-style dual exhaust. Not only is this a powerful
package, but also it's built to be a more modern cruiser. That's
why you have nice driving features like the three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/discs up
front.
Powerful, unique, and easy to drive, this is street machine that
attracts attention wherever it goes. But it also has all the right
modern features to be as comfortable for whatever you want. This is
the complete custom build that ticks every one of your desires.
